The Power Pong ALPHA+ is a high-performance table tennis robot that delivers a realistic training experience at a competitive price. Its innovative design allows it to produce a variety of balls, including no spin, light spin, medium spin, heavy topspin, and underspin, enabling complex training drills with serves and subsequent ball combinations.
Design Innovation
The unique three-wheel design, developed in Hungary, offers superior ball placement compared to one- or two-wheel robots. This technology facilitates quick adjustments in wheel speed and direction, resulting in realistic drills with varying spin and speed combinations. Additionally, Power Pong is continuously working on upgrades that will be made available to all Power Pong models.
The Power Pong ALPHA+ provides you with a fully realistic training experience at a much lower price than other robots with comparable features.
